Shadowing a professional is the correct answer.

It's pretty common to be interested in a particular job, but still not being able to know if that's the job that you should pursue. For this reason, there are many strategies available that help people decide what is the best fit for them, such as: reading a professional association website, subscribing to receive e-newsletters rearding current industry issues, gathering information about a specific career path in the field and shadowing a professional. Among all the strategies, shadowing a professional is the best way to learn whether or not you will enjoy the daily responsibilities of the job.
